You're not going to believe this. Seriously. Even I can't believe it.
Here's Sandy, in her own comments section after being mocked:
By the way, welcome Canadian Cynic readers! The extra traffic is appreciated.
Apparently, Sandy's bipolar disorder means that, today, she's thrilled with the traffic, as opposed to other days when she's furious about the uncivil, trolling leftards infesting her blog and she really wishes they would all go away and leave her alone. Such is the burden of crippling schizophrenia.
But then there's commenter "Bill" with an interesting observation:
Hi Sandy,
The extra traffic may be good for your blog but it means that Canadians are definitely not ignoring this subject. Maybe not a good thing for Mr. Harper. The last time Canadians were this engaged was last December (2008).
Fascinating, since it sort of proves that, when CC HQ links to you, you know you've been linked to. Heh. But here's the capper from Sandy:
Bill — They are not as engaged as last December. Not by a long shot. But you can hope I suppose! Taking over the gov’t in a coup d’etat, legal or not, two months after an election, is a long way from a prorogation, which up to now has never been an issue, because the opposition didn’t make it one. It’s just another “gotcha” that will pass.
Pause.
Read this part again, slowly:
... a coup d’etat, legal or not, ...
Take the time to truly appreciate what just happened here. Blogging Tory Sandy Crux, who has a doctorate and fancies herself as a political blogger of some note, to this day, has yet to figure out whether or not a Canadian coalition government is legal or constitutional.
Savour that observation, because that's the current state of conservative political discourse in this country -- political "pundits" who simply don't know how Canadian politics works.
It's astonishing, isn't it? The appalling level of ignorance amongst Stephen Taylor's pre-programmed howler monkeys -- people who, even after months to figure it out, still don't know whether a coalition government is legal in this country.
The mind reels. Seriously, it just reels. Democracy is so fucked.
BY THE WAY, it's even more depressing that Sandy is so screamingly stupid that she doesn't know the definition of the phrase coup d'etat, suggesting that one might even be legal.
A typical and well-accepted definition of that phrase can be found here:
A coup d'état (pronounced /ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/, (plural: coups d'état) or coup for short, is the sudden unconstitutional deposition of a government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment—typically the military—to replace the deposed government with another, either civil or military.
Note the prominence of the word "unconstitutional," not to mention the clear implication of force -- none of which, I'm quite sure, had any part in the proposal of a coalition government. The thought that someone with a doctorate would be so hideously sloppy and misleading in her use of language is, sadly, what we've come to expect from Stephen Taylor and his mechanical Taylor-bots.
Sandy Crux: Ever the reliable useful idiot.

I was also taken aback by the level of pure un-distilled stupidity that sandy crux exhibits.
If one, with a supposedly doctorate, can be so utterly devoid of any intelligence how does it reflect on that little book she published. To me, it's a reflection of her and I'd consider it totally fucking useless based on her blog musing... Buyer beware...
Apart from her total lack of knowledge about Canadian politics (and I would guess any other subject), I found a certain irony that someone complaining about a FB, yet herself is the admin of one that is purpordely the opposite of the Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament ....
As a bonus, we have Conservative idiots taking talking points from Adler.... There's even a National Post "article" that complains about censorship on the website...
Matt Gurney has so many ignorant and ironic statements that fisking them would run several pages... It's like concentrated stupidity....

Bipolar disorder(formerly called manic depression) is not the same disease as schizophrenia.
That said, the deliberate intellectual dishonesty on display at Sandy Cruxiform's blogsite is unrelenting and speaks to the MASSIVE state of blissful ignorance that ReformaTories prefer.
the deliberate intellectual dishonesty
Are you sure it's deliberate?
I think that she really is that stupid.
I'm going to agree with CWTF -- while numerous Blogging Tories are clearly dishonest hacks and pathological liars, I'm convinced that Sandy is truly that intellectually deficient. She seriously believes her own insipid drivel.
So will Sandy refuse to vote in elections on principle? After all, in Canada, women got the vote under a coalition government.
the stupidity is rampant. Patrick is adamant that when we vote in an election here in Canada, we actually vote for a Prime Minister.
In his own words..."...the people we get to vote for for Prime Minister in Canada."
(from Audrey... love the comments section in which people try to point out Patricks Canadian Politics 101 wrongness and he stubbornly adheres to his statement (with his usual goalpost shiftings, straw man slayings, and name callings that he's well known for...)
This is why we currently have a conservative minority gov't--these people want to be this stupid and want to make all of Canada as stupid.
Sometimes I think I need to start my own blog to explain 21st Century Canada to Canadians.
We are justified, in 21st Century Canada, by faith alone.
The Constitution itself is the only infallible and inherent authority for Canadian justice, faith and government. “Tradition[s],” such as the traditions of having an "Official Opposition," or making the Prime Minister sit in Parliament and listen to the “Official Opposition” complain, not to mention making him explain himself to people who don’t even believe in the Constitution, is not part of the Constitution. Opposition for Opposition's sake was not written in stone by Almighty God and never was part of the Christ, King & Canada code of Canada's Founding Fathers.
The Constitution was dictated by God in English, in the same manner as God dictated the King James Bible.
The Constitution is self-authenticating, clear (perspicuous) to the rational reader, its own interpreter and sufficient of itself to be the final authority of 21st Century Canadian doctrine. i. e., you do not need to be an over-educated lawyer or MSM pundit to understand the Constitution.
Anyone who does not believe in the literal truth of the Constitution is not a Real Canadian. You can read and understand the Constitution yourself if you are a Real Canadian and Real Canadians are not found in Real Canadian towns like Delisle, Sask, not Unreal Canadian big cities like Toronto or Vancouver — though Real Canadian leaders will be found in Vancouver this winter to cheer other Real Canadians on to Victory in the name of Christ, Harper & Canada.
Then there is this troubling issue in Constitutional exegesis over when coops detat are Constitutional and when they aren’t. Obviously, the people we get to vote for Prime Minister in Canada. (This splains it better than the way I was going to try to explain it. I was going to say where you have to take it on faith.) If you don’t believe in the people we get to vote for Prime Minister in Canada you don’t believe in the Constitution.
Meanwhile, the British refer to something that happens within one political party as a "coup". But they happen to get it when it comes to such euphemisms, and don't have boneheads taking it seriously as if it was some sort of armed insurrection. Recall that Margaret Thatcher was ousted as PM by her own party and it was called a coup. On the other hand, Maggie's own son was involved in a coup in Equatorial Guinea and was put on trial for it. That of course was a "real" coup attempt at the overthrow of a government. He was alleged to have helped finance the mercenaries that were going to carry out the coup.
yeah but he *totally* had no idea what the helicopters he was paying for were going to be used for. Apparently he hasn't changed much since his Dakkar days...
